Falcons' Taylor Heinicke: In line for limited practice

Heinicke (ankle) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

The fact that Heinicke is slated to practice in any capacity to open Week 18 prep offers hope that the quarterback could play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints. However, ift Heinicke is deemed unavailable this weekend while he tends to a left ankle injury, Desmond Ridder would draw the start in the Falcons' must-win contest.
